David and Alison Dorricott, the directors of Friends and Heroes Productions Ltd, have recently returned from Proclaim 2017, a gathering of National Religious Broadcasters. The venue had been changed this year from Nashville to Orlando.

David said, "Whilst there were inevitably differences with the Orlando Venue - not all of them great, the change of location brought some new contacts to the Friends and Heroes booth. There is considerable interest in dubbing the Series into Scandinavian Languages - and the likelihood of increased distribution via an innovative movie viewing system especially in India."

Alison added that it was nice to be in a different location and the warmth of the more southerly state of Florida was very welcome. Alison also noticed that there were a different set of visitors.

The influential Catholic religious education website Amazing Catechists recently published a warm and in-depth review of Friends and Heroes DVDs and Bible Curriculum.

The reviewer said that Friends and Heroes is "a fun series that my own children have enjoyed...(and) The style of the story-telling is very earnest, with clearly-enunciated moral lessons." She went on to say that Friends and Heroes historical content and accuracy means "the videos are worth watching for older elementary school students."

Maribel Sanders of the Jeremiah 29:11 Homeschool Momblog recently wrote a wonderful review of Friends and Heroes Homeschool Unit Study 1 after working through all of the material with her daughter.

Her comments included, "My daughter and I really enjoyed going through this homeschool study together...The suggested activities were fun...I loved the creative writing assignments, how the Bible was being taught in such a child friend matter, and the hands on activities...(and) Friends and Heroes Homeschool Study is complete for its purpose and I would recommend it."
